Martyn Naylor (6 KP) rated Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (2018) in Movies
Feb 13, 2019
Contains spoilers, click to show
no here is a primw example of a film being made to rack in more money off a film that was great.
this film as i see it should not have been made. know the consept is a great idea and seems to fit well butttt the writers in my view have just desided to out in as meny websites as possable and use every chance they can to point fun at them. but this is not somthing that makes sense in a film amid at kids as they would not understand. and the story is abit strange as it is basiclly about a man who is obsest with being freinds with a young girl. now i understand why he is because he as nva had a freind or any1 else who is a freind but just seems to border on weird

Glen Banyard (13 KP) rated Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (2019) in Movies
May 12, 2019
Predictable plot (1 more)
Forced humour
Pika Pika
Pokemon is a global brand spanning cartoon, cards, animated films, video games and now a live film, well as live as you can get with imaginary creatures.
Watched in 3D, it really didn't bring anything extra to film.
The plot is pretty much by the numbers and suffers from being horribly predictable, this most likely due to being aimed at a much younger demographic. Bill Nighy really got license to over act his heart out and it shows, in his somewhat limited screen time.
Will it spawn a sequel, possibly, only time will tell as it's launched at difficult time with Endgame still massing larger viewings and Aladdin and John Wick 3 releasing in the next 10 days, it may get squashed to limited performances quickly.

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Kitty's House of Horrors (Kitty Norville, #7) in Books
Mar 1, 2018
At some point, while watching any episode of a TV show like Buffy or a scary movie, you know that you have spoken to the characters on the screen, despite the fact that they can't hear you. "Don't split up! That's when he'll get you!" or "NO! No sex! The ones who have sex DIE you idiots!" And you've wondered how it is NONE of the characters have ever SEEN a horror movie in their lives, right?
Well, Kitty and friends find themselves in the middle of a snuff film being made by people who hate were-beings/vampires/psychics/etc. Kitty, at least, is smarter than your average scream queen. What ensures isn't exactly hilarity, but this being a Kitty Norville book there are a few bright spots here and there (although far fewer than usual).

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Called to Justice (Quaker Midwife Mystery #2) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
Called to Justice is as much historical fiction as it is cozy mystery, and I found both aspects of the story to be riveting. A young, unmarried woman confides in Rose that she is expecting a child, and then ends up being murdered during the Independence Day fireworks celebration. Determined to find justice for the girl and her unborn child, Rose manages to squeeze in a little investigating, between birthing babies and checking on the well-being of her clientele of local women waiting to deliver.
There was a lot of attention to detail and historical accuracy where the births in the story were concerned. See what author Edith Maxwell has to say about midwives and the birthing process on <a href="https://booksthething.com/2017/04/06/called-to-justice-by-edith-maxwell-guest-post-and-giveaway/">my blog</a>.

Jess (12 KP) rated The Girl With All the Gifts (2017) in Movies
Dec 28, 2018
Being a huge fan of the book and I'm glad I read the book first by the way, I was quite disappointed with what was missed out in the film and 'changes' they had made to suit to film. Nevertheless overall I dont think they did too bad a job, Glenn Close was definitely as easy to despise as her character is in the book I think she did a sound job. In fact the entire cast did very well in their character roles. If you are thinking of watching this then I would recommend reading the book first, as I am not convinced the book would be picked up had you watched the film first. Also if you want to know what happened to the survivors, not being satisfied with the ending, check out the book 'The Boy on the Bridge'.

Ross (3284 KP) rated College Dropout by Kanye West in Music
May 22, 2020
Rolling Stone's 298th greatest album of all time
Fantastic album, from before the ego landed. While Kanye's personality and ego is still present, it is far from as overbearing as it became. "All Falls Down" is an undeniably superb song, "Jesus Walks" is a very interesting piece of music. The album as a whole shows a diverse range of influences and styles and is a really good listen. This is due to Kanye's prior focus being on production and not being at the forefront of songs, allowing him to hone that side of songwriting. Last Call is a very interesting long rolling history of West's career to that point, striving to be recognised as a rapper as well as just a talented producer, though at times he comes across as an annoying desperate Jay-Z fan-boy.

Merissa (12069 KP) rated Dirty Laundry (Cole McGinnis #3) in Books
May 30, 2023
We are back in the thick of Cole McGinnis being a very dangerous person to be around. Everyone who gets close to him gets shot, and he usually ends up with pieces of their blood, bone and brain in his mouth. This time, there is a mystery surrounding a Korean fortune-teller and her clients, who are being killed off. I'll be honest, this confused me and I'm still not sure about the WHY of what happened.
Very well-written, and fast-paced with enough action to please everyone. This continues the series and the relationship between Cole and Jae-Min. Definitely to be read as part of the series and not standalone! Recommended.
* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *
